Abstract:

This dataset contains all the spatial distributions predicted for the paper on monitoring programs of the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico Data Atlas, using statistical habitat models fitted to the survey data contained in the dataset whose UDI is "FL.x703.000:0002". The data provided in this dataset are PNG files showing the spatial patterns of probability of encounter of 61 fish and invertebrate functional groups/species/life stages of the Gulf of Mexico. The spatial distributions provided here are not for specific years, but rather long-term, average spatial distributions for the period 2000-present.
